Devonian Trilobites (Acanthopyge, Asteropyginae, Crotalocephalina, Gerastos, Metacantina, Paraljurus, Phacops, Proetus)
ntloux replied to ntloux's topic in Member Collections
Kane, Alas I fear you are right. I examined the rear of the Acanthopyge and discovered that it scratches quite easily in a manner similar to a resin. I harken back to my belated Father's advice: "Everyone gets flensed once in a while, just try to keep it to a minimum". I wish to thank Darktooth, Kane and Piranha for their comments. Nick- 4 replies

In SC, great whites are Miocene and younger...I assume it's the same in NC. This site mentions a few formations: https://ngmdb.usgs.gov/Geolex/UnitRefs/CastleHayneRefs_915.html

Not sure where this came from but it has a lot going on! Seems to be a lot of Quartz crystals with some metals mixed in. Some other crystals as well. This went in my tumbler as most of my finds do. I didn’t recall putting one that looked like this so I started researching and found some pics that resembled it. They were moon rock. Now I’m not going to get too excited until someone with a little more experience in knowledge than I do has a look at it, hence the reason I’m here! So chime on in , I’m curious now. Thanks in advance!

Devonian Trilobites (Acanthopyge, Asteropyginae, Crotalocephalina, Gerastos, Metacantina, Paraljurus, Phacops, Proetus)

Gerastos granulosus is a popular name across the internet, but is not a valid species in Morocco. The most common Moroccan species is: Gerastos tuberculatus marocensis Images 5 & 7 are Hollardops. Metacanthina should have a pronounced anterior cephalic projection.- 4 replies

The first one is very likely a fabrication. The seventh one is not a Phacops, but another Metacanthina.- 4 replies

The fossil is not well preserved but the size would seem to be consistent with saurorhynchus (which had an ichthyosaur like snout).

Unidentified Teeth From the Bond Formation of Illinois
minnbuckeye replied to Umbo's topic in Fossil ID
A partial Heslerodus divergens might be a possibility for the first tooth. Check out photos in "First records of the chondrichthyans Heslerodus and Ossianodus from the Upper Pennsylvanian LaSalle Limestone (Bond Formation) of northern Illinois" Geology 101, wear steel toed shoes! I know the likely site and big rocks tumble down there.- 2 replies

Origin of "Equicalastrobus chinleana" strobili
Othniel C. Marsh replied to Othniel C. Marsh's topic in General Fossil Discussion
Thanks for the response, Piranha. I suppose a more specific locality might be impossible to obtain. Would the West Saharan cones therefore best be labelled as an indeterminate tracheophyte?- 4 replies

Not to beat a dead horse but after you posted the pics with the blue outline it had so many contact points it made me immediately think of pig. Still another maybe… but peccary or pig m3, broken into just the center cusp and odd third cusp and ground down… weird mastodon kinda pattern 👍 Found in your area👍 The last peccary teeth were some high gloss👍 Size👍 root structure would be weird diagonal towards the back of m3

Good luck on that! You'd be perfect for it!

Ptychodus04’s Fossil Fish Prepapalooza
Ptychodus04 replied to Ptychodus04's topic in Fossil Preparation
It's a good feeling to have a slight backlog of projects for sure. I'm currently working on a deal to be the recommended preparator for visitors who go to a very well known quarry. Could be huge.- 1,064 replies
